The Queen's Speech release page is vandalized by unknown persons. Some players and fan sites receive a poem and a pocket watch in the mail.

Tick tock goes the clock

It's almost time for time to stop

Something you all must understand

Your world is built on fog and sand

You're out of time, your jig is done

It's time for Scarlet to have her fun

She has some hard lessons to teach

To the people of Divinity's Reach

So mark the date in permanent ink

The hour is later than you think

On the twentieth day she'll start her games

And warm her hands over Kryta's flames!

August 16

The Queen's Speech release page vandalism is not stopping. "Scarlet was here" can be seen on the background.

August 20

The vandalism is complete, and the page is completely painted over to reveal "Clockwork Chaos".

• Tyrian authorities have issued a world-wide warning of invasions by the minions of Scarlet Briar.
• Scarlet's minions are attacking <Name of the zone>

If current map is an overflow without active event

• Scarlet's minions are not attacking this world. Please return to your home world when prompted.

Scarlet's Minions Invade!

Основная статья: Scarlet's Minions Invade!

Scarlet has unleashed clockwork horrors upon Tyria! All zones not suited for character levels below 25 (except Orr and Southsun Cove) can have an invasion event that spawns waves of Twisted Minions for 45 minutes. Alongside the new minions, enemies from previous Living World releases can also spawn, such as the Molten Alliance and Aetherblade pirates. Players will need to destroy the clockwork creatures to weaken the portals. Successfully completing all three waves will cause Scarlet Briar to appear and fight.

Only one zone will be attacked at any time. The current invasion location will be shown on the Living World UI. Any overflows created within the 10 minutes after the invasion begins will also host an invasion. All overflows created after 10 minutes will be normal zones.
